MARCH/APRIL 2015 SPORTS MEDICINE UPDATE 3 Where Can Sports Team Personnel Dispense and Administer Prescription Drugs? To dispense or administer a drug, a person must be licensed or otherwise authorized by the state in which the dispensing or administering occurs. Accordingly, when a practitioner travels to a state in which the practitioner is not licensed or certified, he or she may only dispense or administer prescription drugs in the destination state if the destination state’s law permits such practitioner to practice the profession without a license or certification. For example, a survey of state medical boards conducted by Viola et al. in 2012 found that seventeen states allow team physicians licensed in other states to practice medicine in the state temporarily. 3 The states permitting such activity are Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming. 3 Additionally, Missouri grants exceptions to physicians from bordering states. The survey also identified states that allow physicians licensed in other states to consult with in-state physicians for the purpose of treating destination state patients. 3 (Note: Since 2000, Florida has exempted out-of-state licensees travelling with visiting sports teams from Florida’s licensure requirements, if an equivalent license category exists in Florida. Additionally, since the publication of the Viola article, Ohio has passed legislation temporarily exempting sports team physicians from Ohio’s medical licensure requirement. Other states may have passed similar exemptions or may pass similar exemptions in the future.) The same rules apply to non-physician practitioners who have authority to dispense or administer in one state and travel to another in which they are not licensed. The destination state 4 SPORTS MEDICINE UPDATE MARCH/APRIL 2015 must permit the practitioner to dispense or administer prescription drugs in the destination state. With respect to a nurse practitioner or physician assistant who dispenses or administers under delegated authority from a physician, the destination state must authorize both the nurse practitioner or physician assistant, as the case may be, and the delegating physician to practice their respective professions in the destination state without a license. Additional Requirements to Dispense and Administer Controlled Substances The federal and state controlled substances acts impose restrictions on practitioners dispensing controlled substances. Under federal law, a practitioner may only store, dispense, or administer controlled substances at a physical location and address registered with the DEA. Therefore, a practitioner dispensing or administering controlled substances at multiple practice locations must do so at each location under that location’s specific DEA registration number. Most states similarly require practitioners to dispense under a state controlled substances registration. substances. This applies whether the 1. Criminal Liability.

The nation is experiencing shortages of both physicians and nurses. At the same time, there is increasing demand for primary care. There are solutions for addressing these work force shortages and primary care needs, including loan forgiveness programs, increasing the number of residency slots and taking steps to improve reimbursement for primary care services. While these solutions are longer term, there are also steps that can be taken in the short term. Some have argued that nurse practitioners (NPs)—one type of APRN—should be granted authority to practice independently from physicians as a means to address primary care needs. These arguments come at a time when health care delivery and payment models are heading in the opposite direction. New models of care delivery, including accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes, require integration and teamwork among providers to improve health care outcomes and reduce health care costs.
